brake pads

ive heard from a few mates that drive and one that does tarmac rally he uses ebc they do greenstuff pads for cars under 100bhp yellowstuff for cars over 100bhp and redstuff for high power and race cars and theyve all said they stop nicely and no fade on them
ive had the yellow and red and there crap i go through them in about 2 weeks im useing mintex ones at the mo but there only lasting about a month
Greenstuff pads are fast road so should be fine, they should last a few thousand miles even with enthusiastic driving.
As suggested EBC Greenstuff pads are a good bet, however How come you go through pads so quickly, unless you really rag the hell out of your brakes or you rally/race. I am using Ferodo pads for normal driving, and they have been on for probably comming up to a year, and dont need changing yet
my wife likes to drive with her foot across the brake pedal (makes her fill safe when driving **** nos how ) and i do rag tha ass out of it all the time just got to i drive it like im on a rally track all the time so i might try the higher range of the mintex ones and see how that works out as the ebc ones seem to run out quick
Maybe look at your disc's........Would have to drive bloody hard to get through a set of pads in a month. Maybe change your driving style?
i like the way i drive so no point in changing it now
No love for GM discs and pads? For shame.
i just got grooved discs and mintex high temp pads so ive been told that rally and race cars use them and thy last about three or 4 races so hoefully this will sortmy problem out
When i got my estate, it had new discs and pads but had to change them in june last year, i got some mintex pads and they have been grate so far, i did notice on the box they came in they were for a deawoo(?) but they fitted in propely and stop me on a penny (when my rear cylinders weren't leakin fluid)
Probably for a Nexia, they use ATE 256mm brakes too.
And a lot of other GM stuff

If you're driving like that then it's no surprise your getting through pads so quick. So you have no reason to complain really, either fork out for brakes every month of stop driving like a ****
black diamond predators, all i use because theyre free
well ill drive like a **** if i want to and im not moaning i was asking if ppl could recomend some pads so dont no where you got i was complaining from
Last edited:
somebody eles said about black diamonds but i cant seam to find them anywhere near me so im goin to do a search of the old world wide web and see wot i can find
Maybe upgrade to 288's? I use standard GM issued redrilled 288's and fade is not an issue.
i was thinking about it mate def the way to go i think
